EAC - slow ripping speed

[kls]

Hi.

My first post over here related to my first try to use WINE.

I am using 0.9.58 and the 2.6.24-rt kernel (Ubuntu Studio Hardy Beta)

I installed EAC and almost everything works fine expect the ripping speed, which doesn't seem to be adjustable. The drive speed is not exceeding 2-3.

I tried all kind of settings. Even setting the drive speed manually up with
hdparm -E did not change it.

Perhaps somebody has an idea what to do about it.

Rubyripper/CDparanoia are working at higher speeds without any problems.

P.S:: I've taken a wine package version from the Ubuntu Hardy repositories.

Hi there.

Nobody using EAC (exact audio copy) for CD ripping under wine?

I am, and very happily, but it works at full speed for me! HP Compaq
6710b laptop with Kubuntu 7.10 and current winehq Wine.

(Current app bug: running through the initial setup wizard, it always
hangs. But starting the app and changing preferences is fine.)

[I use EAC because EAC and libparanoia are both good for ripping
severely beaten-up CDs, but some damaged disks are better with one and
some are better with the other. Slowly reripping the whole collection
as 320kbps MP3. I really should just rip 'em all to FLAC ...]

Hi.

Interesting that it works in your case (2.6.22 vs. 2.6.24 kernel vs- 2.6.24-rt kernel ).
Are you using the ASPI scsi emulator driver or the windows driver under "EAC-Setup-Interfaces"?

Perhaps I should really try the option of installing the latest winehq version!?!?

I also experienced the strange behaviour with a hung-up application etc. during setup. From what I read: The key issue is to switch to the windows driver as the first action. Then restart EAC and continue configuring it.

Beside that all other functions such as Accurate Rip asf are working fine.

Um, as I recall I was using the Windows driver.

I can't look as the box in question is presently spending its time
booted into Windows for the one app (needs .NET 2.0) I can't get to
work under Wine, as I'm waiting for a new Wine and/or Mono version to
try it on

Definitely Add the budgetdedicated.com repository then at least you
won't have people telling you that every time you ask why something
doesn't work.

Ahahaha! Where did you see this?

Yep. The only fiddly bit for me was LAME config. But, as I said, I
really should rerip everything to FLAC then get the server to encode
it as MP3 at its leisure.

At Gentoo Forums I stepped over a Wine/EAC HowTo. Some of the issues mentioned over there seem to be solved though.

Hi there.

I just installed latest Wine from sources.

On my internal drive I still have the problem ,

But now I tried my external USB-cdrom.
Ripping speed is OK. And everything works fine.
I'll use this now.

However:
What I realized is that my internal drive is caching the data on the
harddrive. Perhaps there is an issue with Wine. Again with
Linux Applications the internal drive works fine.
